Heading for 2027: the OXY3C project refines its targets for decarbonising heat production in industry
On Tuesday 1 July 2025, the annual progress meeting of the OXY3C project was held at the LGRE in Mulhouse.
This targeted PEPR SPLEEN project aims to improve knowledge and skills in oxycombustion, considered to be a major process for decarbonising heat production in industry. Two approaches are being studied as part of this project, with a view to optimising oxycombustion processes for carbon capture:
- Characterisation of oxy-fuel flames for biogas.
- Improving chemical loop combustion (CLC) for biomass.
These scientific objectives structure the project, as they represent the two work packages in which various scientific research projects are being carried out, as part of theses or post-doctorates.
The day provided an opportunity to:
- Take stock of the scientific advances made after 2 years of the project
- Welcome the latest arrivals to the project
- Discuss organisational matters (meetings between partners, shared area, communications, etc.)
- To reiterate the challenges facing PEPR (Antonio’s speech)
- Receive important messages from ANR representatives
- To review the technical progress of each work package
Exchanges between PhD students, post-docs and researchers show that there is good synergy between the 8 partners. Information circulates well within the work packages, and the desire for cross-disciplinary cooperation between the 2 work packages was emphasised at the meeting. The project is therefore continuing, with a final target of the end of 2027 and the aim of proposing optimised oxycombustion processes.
